Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny is expected to spend another season on loan with Italian outfit AS Roma.

The 26-year-old had been the Gunners’ first-choice keeper since 2011 but was relegated to number two after Petr Cech was recruited from Chelsea.

He was sent out on loan to the Serie A outfit at the start of last season and enjoyed a successful campaign at the Stadio Olimpico.

The Poland international is now back with Arsenal but it seems as though he will be allowed to spend the coming season in the Italian capital once the two clubs have worked out a deal on who pays the majority of his wages.

Reports in Italy claim a deal will be in place by next week in order to allow the Warsaw-born ace to rejoin his team-mates once again for pre-season.
